Plot of I Met the Male Lead In Prison (2023)
Iana transmigrated into an R-19 tragic romance novel as the villain’s younger sister. Her fate seems grim until she encounters the cursed male lead in prison. Despite his beast-like behavior, Iana manages to communicate with him, earning his trust and setting the foundation for an unlikely bond.
The male lead’s curse manifests in uncontrollable animalistic behavior, causing him to lash out at those around him. However, Iana’s calm demeanor and clever manipulation help soothe his aggressive tendencies. The more time they spend together, the more the male lead begins to show vulnerability beneath his rough exterior.
A year after their initial meeting, the male lead asks Iana to meet him again after his release from prison. Iana agrees, thinking it’s a harmless promise. However, on the day of her release, her older brother—the true villain of the novel—greets her with unsettling warmth.
Three years later, Iana’s quiet life is shattered when the male lead reappears—stronger, more confident, and determined to claim her. The once-vulnerable man now radiates dangerous charisma. “It’s been a while, Iana. I’m going to kidnap you now.” Iana must navigate the complicated power struggle between her brother and the male lead while confronting her growing feelings and the hidden truths behind the curse.
